To
increase dose awareness among medical personnel, a method for
radiation control in a
medical diagnostic and / or therapeutic device is provided, which diagnostic and / or therapeutic device comprises a
radiation source for emitting
radiation, in particular X-rays, for irradiating an object under examination and a mechanical control element, in particular operable by force, with a haptic feedback
system, the control element being designed for controlling and / or activating the radiation release, comprising the following steps: Determining or estimating a
radiation dose emitted by the radiation source of the diagnostic and / or therapeutic device and received within a specified period and / or on a specified area or volume, receiving a manual force application to the mechanical control element, and as soon as the force application exceeds a minimum force,Triggering a haptic feedback
signal, in particular a force feedback
signal, by the haptic feedback
system of the mechanical control element, wherein the haptic feedback
signal is output depending on the level of the determined or estimated
radiation dose.
